My Heart only Beats for You

Yuliana asked, "Zorion, do you think of yourself as smart?"

Zorion was shocked to hear her say that.

After a brief moment, he scratched his head. "I... I'm not smart. I know I'm not as smart as Tremaine and I'm also not as smart as my wife. You are all smarter than me." Yuliana sneered.

It seemed that Zorion was quite self-aware.

Although she was sneering inside, Yuliana looked very gentle on the outside. She took Zorion's hand and said, "Zorion, it's good that you are aware of that. You see, you aren't as smart as us, that's why you were tricked by Ruth. That's why you think she's a good person."

Yuliana paused for a moment, then continued "So you see, Madam Quartley, myself, and even Tremaine are much smarter than you. We can see what kind of person Ruth is with just one glance. So Zorion, listen to me and don't say such things about Ruth. You were cheated by her all along."

"But..." Zorion still wanted to say something, but Yuliana interrupted him. She glared at him and said, "Zorion, that's enough. Let's put an end to this. Remember, Ruth isn't a good person."

She then pointed to herself. "I'm your wife. I would never lie to you. Zorion, do you trust me?"

Zorion nodded and said, "I believe you, my wife."

Yuliana smiled and said, "That's right. Come Zorion, let's go and play. Don't ever mention that woman again. Just pretend that Ruth never existed."

Zorion took a deep breath.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what.

He ended up not saying anything at all.

He then obediently followed after Yuliana.

Ruth met with Yesseca at the gates of the Quartley Palace.

Yesseca had been waiting for Ruth.

While Ruth was packing up her things, Yesseca was thinking very hard about this situation.

She was certain that Ruth would never have done such a cruel thing.

That's why Yesseca was here.

She had to get Ruth to tell her truth.
